lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "The case for sunlight in building design - or shade?" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Should B.C. cities rethink their shade priorities? As temperatures climb, former chief planner warns B.C. cities need to rethink old ways of maximizing sunlight and minimizing building shadows. How much shade is too much shade? In B.C.'s warming cities, it's a question increasingly pushing city planners to rethink what building developments should get approved, and which should be reworked to avoid casting a shadow on a nearby public space.

Brent Toderian, a prominent urban-planning advisor who previously served as Vancouver's chief planner, said that for decades, cities across Canada have prioritized sunlight over almost everything else.

That might have made sense a decade ago when B.C.'s coastal cities saw gloomy, wet skies as the biggest damper on public spaces. But three years after a heat wave killed 619 people across the province, expectations have changed, and Toderian says city planners have failed to respond fast enough to the threat of deadly heat.

"They've been choosing sunlight over shade," he said. "It's been treated as almost an absolute rule."

"And we can't afford to keep doing that."

The Bills (headlining), The Marc Atkinson Trio, Yiddish Columbia State Orchestra, Capital City Syncopators, Gene Hardy & Miles Black, The Sidewalk Blues Band and more will fill the streets with live music.

"I grew up basically in the restaurant and I started taking music lessons with Mark Atkinson from the Mark Atkinson Trio and the Bills when I was like 13 years old," Siegel said.

The restaurant has seen other big names play over the years, including Etta James, Dexter Gordon and Dr. John.

Terry David Mulligan, a Canadian actor and radio and television personality based in Vancouver, will be emceeing.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Artcade - Fort Street

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Artcade - Fort Street" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
On Fort Street in Victoria, the old jewelry store, Old and Gold, has been transformed into a dynamic arcade. The new attraction, called Artcade (https://www.monkeycinteractive.com/artcade), features a bizarre entry process involving a "decontamination chamber," hinting at the possible weirdness inside.

Once in, visitors are greeted by a vibrant world of lights and sounds. Artcade houses an interactive art gallery with 13 unique sculptures, each inviting visitors to engage by pressing buttons, turning knobs, and making their own music.

The masterminds behind this innovative space are Scott Amos and David Parfit. Scott, a long time collector of vintage items like old radios and pump organs, has partnered with David, a computer science expert. Together, they have repurposed these antiques with modern technology, creating interactive art pieces. Scott handles the construction and wiring, while David programs the interactive elements and composes the accompanying music.
